What Lodgis does

Lodgis is a French real estate agency founded in 1999 and headquartered in Paris that specializes in furnished apartment rentals (location meublée) for medium- to long-term stays. The company operates an inventory of more than 10,000 furnished properties across ten major French cities — Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Nantes, Strasbourg, Toulouse and additional secondary markets — and serves two distinct customer bases: international tenants (expatriates, students, professionals, corporate assignees) and property owners seeking rental management or sales assistance.

The core product is a digital-first marketplace platform combining a self-service property search and listing interface with inside-sales and in-person consulting delivered through multilingual advisors capable of serving clients in 18 languages. The platform is supported by two authenticated portals (Espace Locataire for tenants and Espace Propriétaire for owners), an online rent estimation tool, a luxury sub-brand (Haut de Gamme), and a partnership with Garantme that provides a guarantor certificate for expatriate tenants who cannot supply a traditional French guarantor. The technology stack is described as a proprietary digital platform rather than a marketplace built on top of third-party SaaS.

Revenue is generated through three streams: transaction-based agency commissions on tenant placement, recurring property management fees on furnished rentals under Gestion Locative, and transaction commissions on property sales (Achat/Vente). Distribution is omnichannel: SEO-optimized web listings, a bilingual blog with guides for expats and students, PR placements in major French business and general press, a 7,863-review public reputation footprint with a 4.8/5 average, an inside-sales corporate channel serving more than 2,000 companies, and a Paris headquarters offering appointments for in-person consultation. Lodgis remains privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, funding history, or M&A activity.
